“The Crann Support Group considered many different digital products on the market, both at home and abroad. The product that could most obviously meet the needs of the childcare facility and parents alike was the Child Paths App. This decision was an outcome of a consultation process, which involved Childcare Professionals and Parents. We have found the team at Child Paths to be extremely professional and helpful with all of our queries and would not hesitate in lending our name to support their product.”

Mary Daly, CEO

“It’s great to be able to engage with a company that has such knowledge of the Irish childcare sector. They’ve built in recurring invoicing whether you charge weekly or monthly and it automatically links in with the child’s scheme funding. With the ability to apply bespoke fee types, discount levels and addons it simplifies the whole process of generating invoices. This will be hugely beneficial for Pobal compliance purposes as it shows the funding breakdowns on the parents’ invoice allowing for all schemes including NCS wrap-around hours.”

Deirdre Bushell, Director of Operations

“Love this software! We began working with Child Paths in May 2018 and have the app in place in our seven centres. It’s a great tool and takes a lot of pain out of the day-to-day paperwork. I love looking at my own child’s photos and updates too. Well worth it and well thought-out product. Highly recommend it and the team are a pleasure to deal with too.”

Ciara Gallagher, Owner

“The Child Paths application has had a significant impact on our service. Our reliance on paper attendance sheets, daily records, sleep charts, food records and child observation records, has decreased dramatically. We have an obligation to work in partnership with parents/guardians, to ensure the best possible outcomes, and we do this through sharing information. There is no better way to do this than through the Child Paths app.”

“At Bizzy B’s Childcare we have been using Child Paths software since it was introduced to the sector. We find it to be an extremely important tool not just for our record keeping and reduction of paperwork, and meeting ever-changing policy and regulations, but as a communication link between children, families and our services. Parents love the pictures and information they receive daily and share it with their children We would highly recommend Child paths as a fundamental tool in early years services.”

Amanda Dunne, Owner

“We have been working with Child Paths since 2017. We have found every part of the process seamless and easy. The staff has more time with the children in their care with the use of tablets instead of paper work. As childcare practitioners, we understand that supporting families and open communication and interaction leads to better outcomes for children. We now see Child Paths as an integral part of achieving these close relationships with parents. We would not be without it”.

Karen Cline, CEO

“Here at Abacus Day Nursery and Preschool, we have been using ‘Child Paths’ for the last 2+ months. We have seen a huge difference in our connections with parents and it has been a godsend to our nursery as it makes the workload a lot easier for the staff and management, being able to have control of all paperwork in one place and cutting down on paper, printing and storage space. Robbie and the team at ‘Child Paths’ have been amazing. Here at Abacus we would highly recommend ‘Child Paths’ has it helps build the level of trust between staff and parents and allows parents to have more of an insight into their child’s day and development.”

“We are a Nursery and Primary School based out of Cairo Egypt. The entire experience from A to Z has been fantastic. We have had consistent communication with their team, guidance, aid, technical setup & training offered to us. When bringing a new wave of technology to our school, our greatest concern was the comfortability of our Teachers using CP, but after working with their team, my school is ignited with interest and excitement for this new means of communication and ability to divulge pertinent information to our parents with the goal of providing the best developmental information to our Parents. This is an absolute game changer for us, and I am entirely grateful to have both discovered CP and for the excellent team behind CP.”
